Ancestors' thumbprints, light pole, Three Forks, MT



The inscription reads,
"Rainbow. Krystal. 7/1/81. Good Hitching to you all. Mosquitoes are fierce!"

It's etched on the east side of a lightpole at the bottom of the approach ramp to I90 at Three Forks, MT.

On the opposite side of the pole was one dated 8/8/74. That would be 37 years ago.

It's like the Pompey's Pillar of hitchhiking, or -- the grimmer view -- the statue of Ozymandias, or like finding a copy of Phoebe Snow's first album, on vinyl, beneath the sofa cushions.

I hope Krystal got a ride, and that she's on the road still. .
